Pay Raised

Yes, today i just got the pay raised announcement from the b*ss. I am in-charge of all administrative function in the office. So i will have the access to get all this information.

To my surprise, the percentage for my increment which is lower than what i expected, it is only 1.5% from my present monthly salary. Seems that i am the second lower in term of percentage. The lowest is at 1% and the highest is at 10%. The increment range from RM16 to RM238. So in other word, some of the employees is getting as low as RM16 for the increment.

From the data, i figure out that the b*ss is "pilih kasih". He has prejudice towards certain person. To be honest, those who got the lower increment do not mean that those guys are not performing well. It is the b*ss's problem and mindset. He will only treat those "Yes Man" as his buddies, those who "brave" enough to speak out his or her opinion (he will think that you guys are challenging him).

It is very difficult to work under my b*ss as he is not a management person. He is originally from engineering background and never involve in management task. This is his first time involving in management positin ever since he had been promoted to a Branch Manager. So it it really hard for him to compromise when handling management issues. So there are moment that disagreement between me and him while carried out my job. So he feels that I am against him. While carry out my duties, I try to be lenient for certain policy and to be strict for certain policy that i cannot compromise with. But the b*ss has the feeling that i am helping the staff and trying to cheat on him. He does not believe in people. In fact I am not. Every decision is approved by him, i am only helping to gather information. Any how, the b*ss still the decision maker.

To be honest, i have done extra work in my duties. As an adminitrative assistant in the office, i handled stuff from: Receptionist/Telephone operator/HR/Clerical task/Personal Assistant/Account/Payroll/Administrative Task/Banking/Shipping/Purchasing/and etc. Anything that you can think of others than an engineer's job that would be my responsibility.

Beside this, i even help to clean up the pantry, to wash the hand towels whenever i found they are too dirty, using my hand "push" all the rubbish into the dustbin whenever the bin is "too full" because our cleaning lady only come once a week to clear the rubbish. So what do you think of a company that is having 16 staff and most of them will pack their foods and bring into the office starting from breakfast until lunch. Just imagine how much of the waste collected in the dustbin. Furthermore they just simply "place" the rubbish into the bin, so after 2-3 days, the bin will be too "full" and all the rubbish will be "packing" up and the lip of the bin will left open. Ohhh gosh....... the smell........ in the air-conditioned office. (Our office is small). To refill the thermos whenever it is empty, most of the staff will just leave it empty and only a few person will willingly refill it.

There are some others tiny things that i do extra for the office which is not in my job responsibility. Like clean up the store room, sorting out recycle papers, boxes just like an Indonesian maid.
